GUBERNATORIAL Candidate of the Labour Party, LP, in Delta State, Chief Great Ogboru has rejected results of the April 11 gubernatorial election and said he was heading to the tribunal to challenge the outcome of the election he alleged was characterized by massive rigging by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Ogboru who stated in a press conference in his Abraka country home, yesterday said his party was rejecting the declaration of Senator Ifeanyi Okowa as the winner of the April 11 gubernatorial election by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
He said; “We reject this declaration by INEC. Okowa did not score majority of lawful votes cast in the election and did not also meet relevant constitutional provisions.
“It is our firm view that the return of Senator Okowa as governor-elect does not reflect the democratic will of the majority of our electorate. His said return is based on electoral irregularities and malpractices that cannot be ignored by any unbiased umpire.
“We can confirm that we are ready to approach the Election Petition Tribunal to set aside the return of Senator Okowa as governor-elect or governor on the chief ground that he did not win the election.
